FAQs

Microblading is a permanent cosmetic tattoo that is applied with a very fine bundle of needles, a hand tool and cosmetic pigment, mimicking the natural hair of an eyebrow. This method can be used to fill in gaps, cover scars, or create a more flattering shape. Microblading makes it possible to transform any eyebrows into the closest thing to naturally perfect.

When done properly and following aftercare, it creates a soft and natural illusion of a real brow. The pigments used in this method have been formulated to match your original eyebrow color, and if the eyebrows are still present, blend perfectly into the existing hairs. 

The results are a natural, flawless, fuller looking brow. Initially, the brow appears darker, but fade significantly over a two week period. It is crucial to have a touch up done, as it is very difficult to predict how well the skin will retain the pigment. 

The results can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on different factors such as clients skin type, sun exposure and chemicals contained in creams and beauty products applied to the skin which could fade and break down the pigment sooner. A retouch once a year is recommended to retain the shape and freshen the color.
